SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:  Notice is hereby given that,

amended the cost-sharing arrangements concerning Federal
funds provided under the authority of the Robert T. 
Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act
(42 U.S.C. 51521 et seq.), in a letter to James L. 
Witt, Director of the Federal Emergency Management 
Agency, as follows:

	I have determined that the damage in certain 
	areas of the State of Oklahoma resulting from
	a severe winter ice storm beginning on 
	December 25, 2000, and continuing through 
	January 10, 2001, is of sufficient severity 
	and magnitude that the provision of additional
	Federal assistance to ensure public health
	and safety is warranted under the Robert T.
	Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency 
	Assistance Act, 42 USC 5121, et seq., as 
	amended by the Disaster Mitigation Act of
	2000, Pub. L. No. 106-390, 114 Stat. 1552
	(2000)(Stafford Act).

	Therefore, I amend my declaration of January
	5, 2001, to provide that the Federal Emergency
	Management Agency (FEMA) may reimburse 90 
	percent of the costs of debris removal from 
	January 5, 2001, through and including March
	6, 2001. This adjustment of the cost share 
	may be provided to all counties under the
	major disaster declaration. You may extend 
	this assistance for an additional period of 
	time, if requested and warranted.

	Please notify the Governor of Oklahoma and 
	the Federal Coordinating Officer of this 
	amendment to my major disaster declaration.
